So Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, Az has come up with a way to get his inmates to exercise. He is making them pedal their way to watch television according to KSAZ. That’s right he is making them pedal on a stationery bike to power up the 19″ television. While I don’t find that cruel and unusual punishment, I do find their channel selection is that. You are get them exercise and then make them watch the Food Channel? That seems wrong. But not as wrong as making them sweat in a tent to watch the Weather Channel in a city where the temperature reaches 120 degrees in the summer. I am sure they want to know that it is hot as hell outside. But those channels are not as cruel and unusual punishment as their third channel option…C-Span. That channel will make them wish their bikes aren’t stationery so they can pedal right out of that tent. Even politicians don’t want to watch C-Span.
Now back to the concept of Pedal Vision. I think it is brilliant. If I had to pedal my way to watch television, I would be skinnier than the actresses on 90210. Too Soon? Also if I have to pedal my way to watch television, I would probably be watching less TV. For example biking for 3 hours a week to listen to the American Idols destroy my favorite songs, I think I would mute them out of my life. If I had to pedal 3 hours a week for Dancing with the Stars, I would dance that show off my TV. Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Melrose Place, 90210, Private Practice, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The Simpsons, Two and a Half Men, Smallville, Parks and Recreation and Jimmy Kimmel Live all gone. Wait how did that last one get on there? If I had to work out on Lost, I would be even more excited that show is almost over and then I would think that is how they have to watch TV too and I would feel for them.
So would your pedal for your right to watch TV if you had too?
MindSign Neuromarketing is a company that measures people’s brain activity to see the effectiveness of consumer marketing. “At MindSign Neuromarketing they use our brain response technology to provide our clients in the advertising, entertainment, political, and software industries with data revealing what their target consumer is thinking while using their product, and seeing their ads.”
The company posted someone’s reaction to the much anticipated Inglourious Basterds’ trailer and as you can see by their reaction of the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes that person is as excited as I am for Quentin Tarantino’s WWII epic movie starring Brad Pitt and Eli Roth. Seriously how f*cking cool is that technology!
On the Final Destination 2 DVD, one of the special features is they measured a person’s brain activity as they watched the death scenes in the movie to see if they really scared the crap out of people and it did! I thought that feature was one of the coolest things I ever saw on DVD, so I think it is really neat that MindSign Neuromarketing is using that technology to measure consumers’ reactions to trailers and TV shows.
If you check out MindSign Neuromarketing’s YouTube Channel you can so other people’s reaction to other trailers and TV spots and none them were as excited at the different videos as they were for Inglourious Basterds!
BTW both Inglourious Basterds and Final Destination: Death Trip 3D are coming out on August 21st and that is too much excitement for my brain!!! My brain map would be full of color if they measured it about August 21st!!!
Every now and again I get something in my inbox that is so cool that I have to share it with y’all and Kodak’s Make Me Super is definitely one of those things I had to share.

So head over to Kodak’s Make Me Super and make them Super!!!
Noel Cruz has painted the faces of celebrities on dolls and their likeness is amazing! His work became known about a month ago when his Angelina Jolie doll hit eBay and as you can see he has done so much more. These are just the modern day dolls he has done, but on Noel Cruz's website you can see the ones he has done for Marilyn Monroe, Lucielle Ball and so many more. His work is so beautiful, I just had to share it with you. I love how he captures their eyes.
BTW he puts the dolls on eBay if you want one of you own.
